Answer

$\nu_2=606\ m/s$ $\dot{V_2}=2.74\ m³/s$

Work Step by Step

The energy balance is: $\dot{m}(h_1+\nu_1^2/2)=\dot{m}(h_2+\nu_2^2/2)+\dot{Q}$ $h_1+\nu_1^2/2=h_2+\nu_2^2/2+\dot{q}$ From Table A-6: Inlet (800 kPa, 400°C): $v_1=0.38429\ m³/kg,\ h_1=3267.7\ kJ/kg$ Outlet (200kPa, 300°C): $v_2=1.31623\ m³/kg,\ h_2=3072.1\ kJ/kg$ The mass flowrate is given by (with $A_1=0.08\ m²,\ \nu_1=10/m/s)$: $\dot{m}=A_1\nu_1/v_1=2.082\ kg/s$ And given $\dot{Q}=25\ kW \rightarrow \dot{q}=12.008\ kJ/kg$ Solving the energy balance for the outlet velocity: $\nu_2=606\ m/s$ Since $\dot{V_2}=\dot{m}v_2$ $\dot{V_2}=2.74\ m³/s$
